This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:35, 4 May 2019 (UTC) Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community. Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

The article for Sunil Jadhav you PROD-ed for deletion used to refer to the cricketer for Maharashtra - until it was changed on March 15 to refer to a bodybuilder. If I may revert it back to the former article then the links for the original article will be there. If you still think the page is under question in spite of containing a link to CA, then a cricketer who only played ~10 years ago should be easier to find references for.

Formosa Clouded LeopardTaiwan is not just a so-called “island with protected areas,” it is a technologically superior industrialized developed country armed with biological, chemical and nuclear weapons that is also the world’s most technologically advanced computer microchip maker and has the most technologically advanced healthcare system in the world. The Taiwanese also built the most advanced hypersonic cruise missiles and stealth warships in the world, additionally they also built the Taipei 101 skyscraper which is the former “Tallest Building in the World” and still the most energy efficient and most technologically advanced building in the world even after the construction of the Burj Dubai skyscraper. Please read: 1.) Taiwan accidentally fires hypersonic nuclear missile towards China

Spike 'em (talk) 08:48, 22 August 2019 (UTC) WikiCup 2019 September newsletterThe fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round. Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

I appreciate you looking at this. TwoScars (talk) 20:07, 20 September 2019 (UTC) I finished with the Warrenton Junction Raid. When reviewing, I discovered that I had eliminated the text that backs up the last two sentences of the lead. Thus, the third paragraph under Better cavalry was added to back up those two sentences. The other alternative is to eliminate the third paragraph under Better cavalry and eliminate the following from the last paragraph of the lead: "It fought at the Battle of Gettysburg, had an important role in eliminating the Confederate Army of the Valley, and was present at General Robert E. Lee's surrender of his Army of Northern Virginia." I have no problem doing that if you prefer. I have always had a reputation for writing too much.

The amended page is succinct and accurate with up-to-date information. Eelhovercraft (talk) 19:01, 6 November 2019 (UTC) The Bugle: Issue CLXIII, November 2019

Sources for FAC reviewHarrias, Thank you for taking the time to do a source review for BF43. Many of the sources are readily available online. That's true in particular for most of the books, which are viewable via Google Books and/or Amazon. However, if you need a journal article that has been used as a source, there is a 99.99% probability that I have it on my laptop. [Uh I just discovered that I had accidentally deleted one... but I got it again.] Please feel to email me with any requests. Tks for your time & trouble. [Oh I have three books on my laptop as well... two are cited several times and the other is also important... just ask.] ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 02:12, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
PLease forgive me for bother ing you... The FAC coords are acting like they want to close down the FAC because it has been going on for too long. They specifically mentioned the lack of a source review... I'm sort of hoping you could finish the source review. Woud that be an option? Thanks! ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 22:45, 21 December 2019 (UTC) Sources for *other* FAC reviewI'd love to take you up on your offer to look for some scholarly articles! I had three in particular in mind:
Based on the previews, I hope to find relevant material for various of the Silesian Wars series in them. If you have access, it would be a real help! Either way, thanks for offering! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 02:29, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
